Developing and Integrating Business Strategy
Aligning an organization’s operations with its business strategy is key to ensuring that the organization delivers on its commitments. Suntory was able to successfully align its Corporate Information Systems division with the businesses it served to deliver beyond its customers expectations, ahead of time and within budget. This presentation describes the TOC process Suntory’s corporate information system division used to meet its objective.
Suntory, a ¥1,434 billion company, is Japan's leading producer and distributor of alcohol and non-alcohol beverages. The Corporate Information System division provides scalable information systems to support the over 170 companies which are part of the Suntory group.
The CIS division was facing pressure to deliver more new systems with increased complexity within shorter time-frames. The amount of rework during the design stage of the new systems made it very difficult to meet ever growing demand from corporate customers
After getting buy-in from the CIO, AGI facilitated the development of the Business Management Strategy to satisfy the corporate customers' needs.
Key elements included:
- Exposure to TOC applications for constraint-specific solutions
- Demonstration of proof of concept of the New Business Management Strategy with one corporate customer (Flower Division)
- Development of Business Management Strategy to achieve short- and long-term goals
- Development of Functional Strategy based on the TOC External Supply Chain Solution
Bottom line results included: - Business Management Strategy and functional strategies provided the platform for developing the Information Systems
- Information Systems were delivered without rework, on time and within budget.
